Summary:

U.S. Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz, appointed by President Barrack Obama, earlier this week makes a comment that marks a significant shift in the administration's energy policy. "The nature of the oil we're producing may not be well-matched to our current refinery capacity," Moniz said. MLV & Co. E&P analyst Chad Mabry tells TheStreet's Joe Deaux that this is a key change in rhetoric by the president's cabinet, but he doubts anything will happen in 2014, an election year. Mabry also points out that U.S. energy companies have workaround ways to deliver energy products abroad.

End of Crude Oil Export Ban Means the End of the Game for Refiners

TheStreet (July 2, 2014) &#151; Dan Dicker, energy contributor at RealMoney, talks to Jim Cramer about the Commerce Department&#039;s recent decision to allow the reclassification of condensates as a refined product, in effect ending a 40-year old ban on the export of domestically produced crude oil. This will expand the business of distilling crude oil for export overseas, benefiting U.S. exploration and production companies and some transport MLPs. The losers will be the U.S. refiners, who will see the end of the price advantage they have enjoyed for the last 4 years. Dicker says he would not own any of them right now.

Global Oil Demand to Increase Next Year at Fastest Pace Since 2010

TheStreet (July 11, 2014) &#151; Global oil demand will rise at the fastest pace in five years in 2015, according to the International Energy Agency. The IEA said that world oil consumption will increase next year by 1.4 million barrels a day to a record 94.1 million. Most of the increase in oil supply will be from nations outside of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries. Oil supply from non-OPEC countries will rise by 1.2 million barrels a day next year as North American production rises. The demand for oil will be driven in large part by China, which the agency said will see demand increase by more than 4% to about 10.8 million a day.

Why Gas Prices Will Go Lower If the U.S. Lifts Oil Export Ban

TheStreet (May 29, 2014) &#151; IHS vice chairman Daniel Yergin tells TheStreet&#039;s Joe Deaux that gas prices could drop by as much as 8 cents per gallon if the United States lifts its crude oil export ban. A report by the energy research group says lifting the ban from 2016 through 2030 would trigger jobs growth by as much as nearly 1 million at its peak and collect a combined $1.3 trillion in government revenue. Yergin also tells TheStreet which participants won&#039;t stand to benefit from lifting the restriction and explains why he expects U.S. energy policy to shift in the Obama administration and in Congress.

Crude Oil Prices Bounce Back After Falling Below $100 a Barrel

TheStreet (July 16, 2014) &#151; Oil Futures are bouncing back after tumbling below $100 a barrel for the first time since May yesterday. Jeff Grossman is the president of BRG Brokerage and trades at the NYMEX. Grossman tells TheStreet the Middle East is always a concern for oil traders. Oil prices were pushed down in recent weeks on Libya increasing its production. Supply disruptions in Iraq fading also contributed to prices falling. News from China&#039;s economic front showing a growth for the second quarter also calmed fears on its slowdown. Jeff Grossman talks to TheStreet&#039;s Susannah Lee on this and more on the Energy Department&#039;s Energy Information Administration (EIA) report.
